There exists a certain ambiance within a quiet house. Following the cessation of clamor and noise, and after the firetrucks depart, silence ensues. The radio emits a shrill sound. Amidst the size-up and unit response sounds on the radio, there lies silence and vacant shoes. The abandoned shoes, once discarded for bunker pants and boots, remain unfilled. The question arises, who will fill these shoes? Perhaps it might be you.

DCFD personnel responded promptly to an animal rescue call this afternoon, leveraging our specialized training to rescue a fawn trapped in a narrow groundhog hole. The operation involved a coordinated effort with multiple agencies to free the fawn, which was pinned under a large rock. Following successful extrication by DCFD members, the PA Game Warden, Dickson DPW employees, the fawn was handed over to the Game Warden. We are committed to caring for all lives, great and small. Given the extended duration of the fawn's entrapment, its survival prospects are uncertain; nonetheless, our actions afforded it a possibility of rescue.
